Possible Oscar surprise tomorrow

[stereoman]

Sky have always put it on one of their movie channels since acquiring the rights ahead of the BBC.

I don't have Sky's movie channel package but will be watching it online (will be gambling on the generosity of strangers on a certain website providing the feed). Failing that there's always BBC Radio Five Live and their coverage no matter how random it may be thanks to Dotun Adebayo.

Hmmm. Bet365 and Stan James have trimmed Avatar into 'evens'. It's a best-priced 5/4 over at Betfred.

Will be interesting to see if there are any more odds movements between now and 1am.

I think Bet365 may even have betting in-running on the Oscars like they did last year.

Not a hope in hell of winning this, your better off just burning your money!!

Its Avatar or Hurt Locker. (between the two im hoping for Hurt Locker!)

Im a huge fan of Inglorious, watched it a few times, and loved it, but will never happen.

Bit of an anti bok post this surely, looks nailed on now.

Im on@16s, great film and maybe they'll go for this rather than choose between the big 2.

Some slight trimming of IB as it goes into a best-priced 14/1 with Ladbrokes and Stan James (still a worst-priced 10/1 with William Hill).

I'm surprised 'Avatar' supporters haven't attacked that 5/4 at Betfred to bits by now. A bit 'Braveheart' to leave it until the last possible moment isn't it?

C'mon The Hurt Locker!

Try to keep up with the forum bud, and who is winning.

Who decides who wins what?

[stereoman]

AMPAS/the Academy does with the auditing done by PricewaterhouseCoopers. They'll be represented by two guys who'll be holding up holdalls of the tabulated results on the red carpet with British TV coverage of the pre-show starting at 11pm GMT. The ceremony starts at 1am GMT.

well technically you need to pay for Sky and also the Movie channels, apart from that, no you dont need to pay for it.

Depends on your ethics I suppose.  A bit of research and you'll find a forum describing how to avoid it....

[lazaroonie]

if avtar wins this then the acadamy will lose a lot of credibility, cos its steaming pile of shite

That Oddschecker link I posted has gone kaput. Thankfully Bestbetting is still up.

As with poker i'm not a fan of being results based. But fair play if yr winning and gl 2 u mate, yr posts r always entertaining.

I just often find myself disagreeing with yr assessment of an event, don't mean to sound rude or nothing, diff opinions and all.
